It's a tangent to the thread, but this does make me realize Romero doesn't get enough credit for actually taking his lumps.

That's... a good point.

lol one of the best comments I've seen on the whole antivax thing

“morning joe lib” currently holds the title of Sickest Burn 2026 on accuracy alone

lol this is a good way of putting it

read the posts leading up to this, interesting analogy

Literally every foodstuff is, somehow, a perfect name for a cat. Biscuits. Treacle. Gravy. Pierogi. Chowder. Even the unlikely options, like Soup and Salad, will miraculously suit a cat somewhere.

Only makes sense when you remember that they think being 1 degree to Mitt Romney's left makes a person a Marxist

This is an interesting point, although VR is more like the display your UI is on than the UI itself.

related tangent: can we at least agree that political reporters should know who was president each year? I'm not even talking a long time ago, but just like the last 4 presidential terms or something.

hahaha the robot crouching at the end is the cherry on top

Find a better metaphor for the tech industry going into 2026. I’ll wait.

While watching the 5th season of Stranger Things I noticed this extremely nerdy anachronism: it refers to the Sorcerer class in DnD, but that class was added in 2000 and the show is set in 1987. What other nerdy anachronisms are there? I'm thinking comic collections with issues that are too recent.

oh My GAWD

The "more ass-hairs now" comment reminds me of the time someone dismissed a graphics Phd as "dedicating your life to improving Shrek's bum fluff".

I recall some quiz show that openly mocked contestants who answered in the form of a question, what show was that?

At this rate, this may become my most liked post on bluesky. lol excellent

so it's not a good idea to deep fry my frozen turkey next to my dried out tree?

Awful self-own when I was trying to introduce some Zoomers to Cannibal Ox without noticing the YouTube channel I was on was called “Classic Hip-Hop.”

Growing up I moved a lot (as in multiple countries) and people used to tell me I was lucky to have that experience. Which I was! but it did mean I have no roots anywhere and now I basically have no friends.

Related to this, I'm pretty sure I've benefited from white privilege over my own (Korean) mother. As in, someone was being subtly racist to her, and then they perked right up at white-looking me.

"who was president back then?" continues to be the the most important thing political reporters need to know

"inability to envision a finished game when you give someone WIP stuff is responsible for a shocking amount of dumb shit" every web designer ever gives a thousand yard stare

In this spirit, I should point out that the Unity programming book I'm currently writing contains no AI. No need to worry about AI hallucinations polluting these explanations, it's all crafted and tested by hand! jettelly.com/store/charac... #unity3d #spine2d

god I already knew my mom could be an ICE target, but it's still depressing to see official confirmation. She's a US citizen, but ICE will still detain her because she's a Korean immigrant.

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.

Whenever "shoes in the house?" discourse crops up, I wonder if the "I must wear shoes" side realizes the low-key cultural supremacy going on? Related question: is it only Western nations where people wear shoes in the house? I know about Asia, but I don't know about, say, South America.

A not-insignificant part of why I built an arcade cabinet with my kids was so they'd understand how it works. I definitely hate how "hands off" tech culture has become, and very much support movements like "right to repair".

Gonna be honest, if you asked me which AAA game was gonna have the most blatant and lazy use of GenAI I'd have answered Call of Duty frame one

Due to aggressive consolidation the apocalypse now has only two horsemen

My book about character customization in Unity is updated with the first chapter of the section on Spine 2D that I'm working on. The first half of the book was all about 3D characters, and the second half is about 2D! #unity3d #spine2d jettelly.com/store/charac...

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Truth! A service isn’t a business. How much “profit” did the military post? Maybe judging the success of government services the same way we judge Capitalist success is inherently stupid. Maybe almost as stupid as “we need a businessman to be president.” That was obviously wrong as hell.

Everyone stop what you're doing and watch this right now (sound up)

It's a tangent, but god damn is this true in software engineering.

This comment hits so much for me as a parent. This thread is about older/adult children, but the same mindset and related problems apply to young children. Like that stat I once saw where a depressing percentage of school age children aren't allowed alone in their own front yard.

bang out couple thousand words in one hour then spend three hours trying to figure out what to name a restaurant the characters go to one time JUST WRITING THINGS

Teleological interpretations of evolution, my old nemesis.

This has always been the biggest issue for AI: people may like to use it for free, but they won't pay for it.
